The
Unreleased Beatles: Music and Film details the incredible
wealth of music the Beatles recorded that they did not release, as well
as musical footage of the group that hasn't been made commercially
available. The 400-page, 8 1/2" X 11"-sized, illustrated book examines
all unreleased studio outtakes, BBC radio recordings from 1962-65, live
concert performances, home demos, private tapes, fan club Christmas
recordings, and other informal recordings done outside of EMI studios
that have escaped into circulation. Chronologically sequenced entries
for all the Beatles' unreleased recordings of note from 1957 to 1970
are here, as well as all the unreleased Beatles musical video footage
of note from 1961 to 1970. Also included are overviews of songs
composed by the Beatles that were never recorded by the group, but
given away to other artists; recordings known or rumored to have been
made by the group that haven't yet circulated; Beatles compositions
never recorded by anyone; coverage of music the group didn't release
while active, but later put out on albums such as The Beatles at the Hollywood Bowl, Live! At the Star-Club, Live at the BBC, Let It Be...Naked, and the Anthology volumes; and a history
of Beatles bootlegs. Written
with critical, descriptive analysis emphasizing the music and its most
human, artistic qualities—and not just where and when the recordings
were made—The Unreleased Beatles:
Music and Film is a history for both the general fan and the
specialized Beatlemaniac.

The Unreleased Beatles: Music and Film is widely
